JAKARTA MOTOR CITY

Jakarta , Siapa yang tidak tau daerah ini? ya Jakarta adalah sebuah daerah yang bisa di bilang cukup berkembang. Jakarta merupakan ibu kota Negara kita tercinta INDONESIA.
Saking berkembangnya jakarta, bahkan dimana - mana penuh sesak dengan berbagai macam kendaraan. Baik kendaraan beroda dua , tiga , sampai beroda empat. Apalagi dengan kendaraan yg satu ini, yaitu MOTOR.

             JAKARTA MOTOR CITY , itulah julukan saat ini untuk kota jakarta. Mengapa demikian? ya, dijakarta ini sudah banyak masyarakat yang mempunyai kendaraan roda dua itu. Kini masyarakat telah diringankan perjalanannya dengan adanya kendaraan tersebut, mau kemana - mana sudah tidak sulit lagi karena perjalanan saat ini sudah di ringankan dengan adanya motor. Akan tetapi,, dengan adanya motor dan terus berkembangnya produksi kendaraan ini di jakarta, bisa berdampak buruk juga. Ya, karena setiap tahun nya pabrik - pabrik kendaraan tersebut bisa menghasilkan beratus - ratus bahkan beribu - ribu motor yang di pasarkan ke Ibu Kota ini.Dengan banyaknya pemakain kendaraan motor di jakarta, itu berdampak kemacetan dimana - mana. Saking banyak nya pemengendara motor, bahkan ketika saat jalan mulai macet banyak pengendaraan yang memaksa memanjat trotoar - trotoar pinggir jalan.

Sampai - sampai jalan khusus BUSWAY pun di gerogoti oleh para pengendara motor,,
entah bagai mana solusi untuk permasalahan ini tidak akan ada ujungnya. Jika seluruh masyarakat tidak sadar akan keadaan jakarta yang sekarang sedang terpuruknya, maka jalan - jalan di seluruh bagian jakarta ini tidak akan cukup untuk menampung seluruh kendaraan motor ini.

Organization


An organization (or organisation — see spelling differences) is a social group which distributes tasks for a collective goal. The word itself is derived from the Greek word organon, itself derived from the better-known word ergon - as we know `organ` - and it means a compartment for a particular job.
In the social sciences, organizations are the object of analysis for a number of disciplines, such as sociologyeconomicspolitical sciencepsychology,management, and organizational communication. The broader analysis of organizations is commonly referred to as organizational structureorganizational studiesorganizational behavior, or organization analysis. A number of different perspectives exist, some of which are compatible:There are a variety of legal types of organizations, including: corporationsgovernmentsnon-governmental organizationsinternational organizations,armed forcescharitiesnot-for-profit corporationspartnershipscooperatives, and universities. A hybrid organization is a body that operates in both thepublic sector and the private sector, simultaneously fulfilling public duties and developing commercial market activities. As a result the hybrid organization becomes a mixture of a government and a corporate organization.
  • From a process-related perspective, an organization is viewed as an entity is being (re-)organized, and the focus is on the organization as a set of tasks or actions.
  • From a functional perspective, the focus is on how entities like businesses or state authorities are used.
  • From an institutional perspective, an organization is viewed as a purposeful structure within a social context.
In management and organizational studies
Management is interested in organization mainly from an instrumental point of view. For a company, organization is a means to an end to achieve its goals, which are to create value for its stakeholders (stockholders, employees, customers, suppliers, community). moreover, (Samson, p 25. 2005) describes organising as “the management function concerned with assigning tasks, grouping tasks into departments, and allocating resources to departments


In sociology
Sociology can be defined as the science of the institutions of modernity; specific institutions serve a function, akin to the individual organs of a coherent body. In the social and political sciences in general, an "organization" may be more loosely understood as the planned, coordinated and purposeful action of human beings working through collective action to reach a common goal or construct a tangible product. This action is usually framed by formal membership and form (institutional rules). Sociology distinguishes the term organization into planned formal and unplanned informal (i.e. spontaneously formed) organizations. Sociology analyzes organizations in the first line from an institutional perspective. In this sense, organization is a permanent arrangement of elements. These elements and their actions are determined by rules so that a certain task can be fulfilled through a system of coordinated division of labor.
An organization is defined by the elements that are part of it (who belongs to the organization and who does not?), its communication (which elements communicate and how do they communicate?), its autonomy (which changes are executed autonomously by the organization or its elements?), and its rules of action compared to outside events (what causes an organization to act as a collective actor?).
By coordinated and planned cooperation of the elements, the organization is able to solve tasks that lie beyond the abilities of the single elements. The price paid by the elements is the limitation of thedegrees of freedom of the elements. Advantages of organizations are enhancement (more of the same), addition (combination of different features) and extension. Disadvantages can be inertness (through co-ordination) and loss of interaction.

Organizational structures

The study of organizations includes a focus on optimizing organizational structure. According to management science, most human organizations fall roughly into four types:

Matrix organization

This organizational type assigns each worker two bosses in two different hierarchies. One hierarchy is "functional" and assures that each type of expert in the organization is well-trained, and measured by a boss who is super-expert in the same field. The other direction is "executive" and tries to get projects completed using the experts. Projects might be organized by products, regions, customer types, or some other schema.
As an example, a company might have an individual with overall responsibility for Products X and Y, and another individual with overall responsibility for Engineering, Quality Control etc. Therefore, subordinates responsible for quality control of project X will have two reporting lines.
Leadership in organizations

Leadership in organizations


A leader in a formal, hierarchical organization, who is appointed to a managerial position, has the right to command and enforce obedience by virtue of the authority of his position. However, he must possess adequate personal attributes to match his authority, because authority is only potentially available to him. In the absence of sufficient personal competence, a manager may be confronted by an emergent leader who can challenge his role in the organization and reduce it to that of a figurehead. However, only authority of position has the backing of formal sanctions. It follows that whoever wields personal influence and power can legitimize this only by gaining a formal position in the hierarchy, with commensurate authority.

Leadership in formal organizations

An organization that is established as a means for achieving defined objectives has been referred to as a formal organization. Its design specifies how goals are subdivided and reflected in subdivisions of the organization. Divisions, departments, sections, positions, jobs, and tasks make up this work structure. Thus, the formal organization is expected to behave impersonally in regard to relationships with clients or with its members. According to Weber's definition, entry and subsequent advancement is by merit or seniority. Each employee receives a salary and enjoys a degree of tenure that safeguards him from the arbitrary influence of superiors or of powerful clients. The higher his position in the hierarchy, the greater his presumed expertise in adjudicating problems that may arise in the course of the work carried out at lower levels of the organization. It is this bureaucratic structure that forms the basis for the appointment of heads or chiefs of administrative subdivisions in the organization and endows them with the authority attached to their position.[

Leadership in informal organizations


In contrast to the appointed head or chief of an administrative unit, a leader emerges within the context of the informal organization that underlies the formal structure. The informal organization expresses the personal objectives and goals of the individual membership. Their objectives and goals may or may not coincide with those of the formal organization. The informal organization represents an extension of the social structures that generally characterize human life — the spontaneous emergence of groups and organizations as ends in themselves.[2]
In prehistoric times, man was preoccupied with his personal security, maintenance, protection, and survival. Now man spends a major portion of his waking hours working for organizations. His need to identify with a community that provides security, protection, maintenance, and a feeling of belonging continues unchanged from prehistoric times. This need is met by the informal organization and its emergent, or unofficial, leaders.[1]
Leaders emerge from within the structure of the informal organization. Their personal qualities, the demands of the situation, or a combination of these and other factors attract followers who accept their leadership within one or several overlay structures. Instead of the authority of position held by an appointed head or chief, the emergent leader wields influence or power. Influence is the ability of a person to gain cooperation from others by means of persuasion or control over rewards. Power is a stronger form of influence because it reflects a person's ability to enforce action through the control of a means of punishment.
